Each are installed on its own physical hard drive (Both IDE). Windows XP is installed on MAXTOR 6L020J1-(PM). While Backtrack is installed in WDC AC310000D- (SS) <--western digital HDD. I set the first boot as WDC AC310000D-(SS) which is where Backtrack is installed in order to gain access to GRUB Boot Menu. Because I want to be able to choose which operating system I want to boot from the Menu's list. But I can't get it to work. The current configuration are shown on those image links above. I have the MAXTOR HDD set has (hd1,0) which is correct (i think) because it displays the "Starting Up" screen before it loads the Windows XP startup logo. But the problem is that the "starting up" screen just hangs there and does not load anything after that. Not sure what the problem is. If anyone who is good at GRUB, please lead me to the way to the land of solutions, where the water is clear and the sky is blue, and where Linux, Apple, Windows hold hands. |
